To food lovers the world over, a trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to Poil?ne. Ina Garten raves about the bread’s “extraordinary quality.” Martha Stewart says the P in Poil?ne stands for “perfect.” For the first time, Poil?ne provides detailed instructions so bakers can reproduce its unique “hug-sized” sourdough loaves at home, as well as the bakery’s other much-loved breads and pastries.
